Anybody have a link to specifics of R and R of Master and slave clutch cylinders? I found a good article on bleeding the system on the Atlantic Z car website. nice pics, easy to understand.

I'd just like to get more info than is in the service manual. This is actually for my 79.

I would just like a bit more clarity on how to remove the master, and maybe hook it up. I lost complete pedal pressure on the clutch , and am not seeing any leaking from the slave, so I'm assuming its the master. Should I replace both cylinders?

I've never seen anything but it is probably because the process is so simple that it never was thought needed. Master is a matter of crawling under the dash and pulling a pin from the pedal arm, top side remove the line (10mm flare wrench is best), remove 2 nuts holding master to firewall, remove master, install by reversing the process. Slave, crack flex line loose, remove 2 bolts holding slave, remove slave from flex hose. Install: install and tighten flex line, install slave, bleed system. Adjustment of master pushrod length may be required to get correct pedal travel.

At least that's all I remember having to do, the under the dash part is the worst part of the whole operation.

Sounds like your master is gone, the slave is cheap and probably going to follow the master soon so you might as well change them both and eliminate any future problems for a long time to come.
